On-going academic support is also provided for students in Years 2 and 3, and for students undertaking higher degrees in CNST / Funsom. The aim is to provide targeted support where it is most needed. Master degree students are currently offered three semesters of academic English study in their first and second years, and doctoral students study for two semesters in their first year. Modules are aimed at developing students' language level competence in all four skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writeing) with a focus on reading academic journals, writing up research, making presentations, and solving problems through discussion. |
